A Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) detector dog sniffed out 40 kilograms of undeclared beef and chicken that was stashed in a travellers’s luggage at Toronto Pearson Airport late last month.
CBSA tells CityNews their dog, Moby, caught scent of the meat in a traveller’s luggage arriving from Nigeria on March 27.
“The food products were seized and the traveller was fined,” CBSA said while reminding travellers that they are required by law to declare all food, plant and animal products coming into Canada.
It’s the second time in a month that CBSA reported a large haul of undeclared meat at Pearson.
On March 8, detector dog, Dharla, found twenty-two kilograms of raw meat, including duck, pigeon, chicken and rabbit, that arrived at Pearson from Egypt.
